[Testimonials]
âI think if you are looking to volunteer abroad or intern abroad Kaya have been beyond helpful! Always on the other end of the phone if you need them and very quick to respond to emails! When I was in Vietnam there was a huge and wonderful support network out there for me which really helped me settle in, introduce me to new interns and get a feel for Hanoi. This really made my experience all the more enjoyable and as a result the other interns and I always made plans for the weekends to do little trips or to wonder about the city. It also meant I was trying new food right up to the day I left which was amazing!â
- Molly Simmons, Climate Change Internship, VietnamÂ
âThis project has great goals and ambitions that I hope will be fulfilled in the next years. I learned that every human being can actually make a difference no matter how small it may be.â
- Omar Alireza, Teaching and Community Work, Tanzania
âIâm fairly sure that coming out here was a fantastic decision. Itâs been a relentless, but worthwhile, few days since I got here on Saturday morning. Iâm still getting used to the local customs and canât seem to work the taxis without getting confused, but itâs all part of the fun! My project is looking extremely interesting Iâll be trying to turn a few bags made at a school into a profitable and sustainable business project. Hereâs hoping that I can get it right! The project is incredibly unique the homestay is unforgettable and the place has a wonderful tranquillity in a noisy sort of wayâ
- Matt Crawford, Non-Profit Development Internship, Ghana
âMy trip to Belize was my first trip solo trip abroad, so I was a little apprehensive but as soon as I met other people on the trip I felt very at home⦠I speared (and ate) my first lionfish and even got to snorkel with a whale shark! I also received my advanced SCUBA certification and got to go on my first night dive⦠When you travel as a volunteer, you are exposed to and develop and appreciation for what âreal lifeâ is like in that environment, as opposed to only seeing the pretty, well-developed and commercialized tourist areas.â
- Amy Lee, Marine Conservation, Belize
